1/2 lb of bacon - crisp-cooked and crumbled |
2 t olive oil |
1 medium onion - diced |
2 cloves garlic - crushed |
1 lb frozen bag of black-eyed peas |
chicken stock to cover peas (water can be substituted) |
1 lb frozen bag of collard greens |
red pepper flakes - to your taste for spice |
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. In a frying pan, fry bacon until crisp. Drain and cool on paper towel.
2. Add oil to large saucepan. When oil is hot. add diced onion and cook until translucent. Add crushed garlic and stir for a minute,
3. Add black-eyed peas and cover with stock or water. Stir until liquid is halved.
4. Add collard greens right from the freezer. They will cook as you stir.
5. Add crumbled bacon. Season with red pepper flakes (as much as you like), add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
